I hope neither of them do! We'll see!

The reason I say NMC for him and Helm is they will want to make sure they cannot get claimed and Holland being the idiot he is will give them it and be forced to leave better, younger players unprotected. But that's ok with Holland, because he's an idiot. With the expansion draft coming up there should be NO NMC on this roster. We have to protect our future, not Helm and Glenny. Nor Nielsen for that matter. They can't all get claimed, but why risk a Jurco, for example because you are forced to protect 4th liners with NMC'S? I hope and pray neither of these 4th liners have to be protected.

I'm surprised this wasn't a 4-5 year deal.

Waive them...thats how they'll be dealt with. Goodbye for free!

Go Green, Go White... Wouldn't it be hilarious if when able, Larkin left to Toronto to play with his buds? Cool...that would be part for course for Holland.

Well hell, we have Helm and Miller, we don't need no stinkin kids! Soon 2 of the 3 D kids will be waived, Frk possibly and nowhere to play Pulk and Jurco. Who needs em! It's a damn shame that we waste so many years developing kids to let some other team get to benefit from them. But hell, we got Ericsson and Howard!

Just wait for the NMC.

Frk will be th he 14th fwd before Sproul/Jensen will be #8...

At least he's 4th liner who knows where he is going to play. He's not whining about top 6 minutes when he knows he doesn't belong there.

Uh.....ok, let's keep 8 dmen instead. One of xo/sproul/Jensen will be #7 with the current roster. The other two will be sent to GR and be forced to go through waivers. If Frk is good, the other fwds with exemptions will start in GR. Holland won't risk losing him to another team. Not unless Cleary wants to play... Of course a trade involving any of these players will change things.

I believe I said 5 d signed, DD will make 6 and ONE OF XO/SPROUL/JENSEN WILL MAKE 7. XO is Ouellet. I excluded the fwds that can safely start in GR. Once Pulk is back, the safe player will be sent to GR...unless Frk s***s the bed and doesn't make the team out of camp. No skewing...but you can go read it again.

Mantha, Nosek and AA have exemptions left. Frk does not. The 3 can start the season in GR without danger. Frk has no exemptions. Unless Frk s***s the bed in pre-season then it's absolutely possible that he'll be here with one of the other guys with exemptions. I'd prefer Mantha, AA and Frk be here, but this is Holland and he has to re-sign Helm and Miller. Plus refuses to dump Nyquist for a top defender. At least so far he has refused to...

Here's how it's going down, right now with Pulk signed there are 17 forwards on the roster. Take away LTIR for Pulk, Franzen, Viale and that is 14, that's WITH AA in GR. Frk can stay in Detroit to start the season and split time with Ott/Miller as the 12th. Mantha could also start in GR bringing it down to 13 fwds. He'll be sent down once Pulk is healthy anyhow, keeping it at 14 with Frk. Currently there are 5 D signed, DD will make 6 and one of XO/Sproul/Jensen will make #7. I keeping reading Fowler is coming, but with a roster of 14 fwds, 7 dman and 2 goalies. Holland is probably done. Unfortunately...and that's why the leadership ranking is so low. He has the opportunity via trade to make necessary changes, he refuses. Stanley Cup champions make those trades when needed. Chicago, LA, Pittsburgh. Remember how all of us laughed at Pittsburgh when they traded for Kessel? Well a lot of us did.

Top tier UFA's feel the same way! Holland started this path with "The Choice" and pushed all his superstars away. Then signs middling talent to outrageous contracts. Then forces coach to play them in the top 6 when they're obviously 13th forwards. Developed kids for 4 years only to suppress them in the minors or in the press box then lose them to waivers...you go Kenny, you go girl! I can't list the players that should be gone, or nevrr re-signed, it's rudundent.

Interference.

It'd be the same as moving his stick away from him if it were on the ice. Interference. He interfered with the opposing player's ability to play the puck. 2 minutes.

Interference....you cannot purposely knock another players stick out of his hands. It'd be different if he "lifted" the stick to steal the puck and it flew out of his hands, but he had full control of the puck, left it, knocked the stick up I need the air and continued the play. Interference would've been called.

I think Nyquist, Smith, prospect gets you Fowler. I'd prefer Ericsson, but we know nobody is taking him...

No worries, all will be good!

http://mynhltraderumors.com/nhl-rumors-detroit-red-wings-jimmy-howard-boston-bruins/2016/07/11/ Stuck with Jimmy....plus it looks like Fowler.

There's a good chance that only Marchenko will remain from that entire draft...

It's all going to be fine, I am the MegaMillions winner and am in negotiations to buy controlling interest in The Detroit Red Wings Hockey Club. When the transfer is complete, things will start happening! Trust me, no kicking tires!

Flashy Is An F'ing Genius. I love how Babcock takes a little peek over at you real quick after he turns aroubd! Masterful! I wished he'd come back!

Ya, I've read that Trouba will cost too much. I'd give up Nyquist, Jurco, Pulkkinen, Helm (obviously) Tatar, Smith, Ericsson, Sproul, Jensen, Ouellet in any sort of package to acquire Fowler. I'd prefer to dump Ericsson over any of the other D listed and Nyquist over the other f's. Unfortunately I don't think Holland cares at this point about waiving a couple of the D kids. I'd prefer to package them or get at least a pick. But I think Kenny is content with waiving 2 of them if he must and roll the dice.

That's The Juck. ******* Pott Jeep Jamboree right there!
